What types of pest control are most commonly used on cotton?

I need to know several things about the production/production cost of cotton: machinery used (other than cotton gin), the labor costs, demand, and the main type of pest control used


The main type of pest control used on cotton crops are pesticides. The top five are: cyanide, dicofol, naled, propargite, and trifluralin.

Harvesting: The cotton picker (no, not people, but a machine) and the cotton stripper are most commonly used.

Labor costs: didn't find costs, but this statement by Wikipedia
Cotton production is very efficient, in the sense that ten percent or less of the weight is lost in subsequent processing to convert the raw cotton bolls into pure fiber.

Wikipedia has a nice article ... you might want to check there for more information.

Hi, I'm trying to find out if I can use different types of sugar (sugar sub., etc.) to make cotton candy?

Using a cotton candy machine -
will it damage the machine if it's NOT regular sugar?? Will I get any cotton candy at all if I do change the sugar?? Pls let me know..thx.


Sugar substitute won't work because it is the chemical structure of sugar that leads to the cotton effect. You could try fructose (fruit sugar like Sweetaddin or Fruisana) as this has a similar structure and bulk to sucrose. But heat has a slightly different effect on it - it "sets" morewhen it's used in jam, etc and becomes slightly sweeter than normal sugar too.
In the end - the only other sugar I recommend you try in the machine is fructose but no guarantees

What types of sewing fabrics were popular in the 1960s & how can I determine fabric content (cotton wool etc)?

When my grandma passed away she left a closet full of all types of fabrics - I would like to donate some and sell the bigger pieces but do not know how to determine quality or content. Most of it is from the 60s and 70s before she switched to knitting. Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks so much!


"The good stuff", then and now: high quality cotton, linen, silk and wool. Knits became especially popular in the second half of the 60's; polyester and acrylic abounded in the knits. Rayon was mostly considered a cheap, high maintenance fabric.

How to tell what you've got: A burn test is probably the easy way to get an idea of what you've got. Take a small snippet of the fabric (about 1/4"x1" is fine), hold it with needle nose pliers or tweezers over the kitchen sink, light it, and observe what happens:

    Brian's Coffeehouse: Iran in Late Antiquity

    Part of it was a smaller average room size, I know, but I still got the feeling that at this year's MESA the panels I attended drew larger crowds than anything I was at last year except for the panel on modern Wahhabism chaired by Marc Lynch. Even here, however, two stood out, with not only the standing room only crowds I became used to, but people standing outside the door straining to here what was going on. One of these was this panel on authority and leadership in Shi'ism , which I'm not going to try blogging about, as I spent most of it scrunched up in tight seating by an annoying curtain before moving to the floor near the door both to ease my exit after the discussant spoke (I had to...
